THE DRAMA.

GlndlatOF.v
The representation of Galba, The Glad
iator, at the opera house last night drew
quite fair-sized audience. This piece
was adapted from the French Of NJ. A,
Saumet, expressly for Mr.. Warde. 1t
differs very materially from TheGladiator
written for Edwin Forrest and familiar
to the present generation as one of John
McCullough's favorite pieces. Mr..
Warde's version is replete with striking
situations and highly dramatic effects.
The manners of Rome at the time when
the Christian martyrs were devoured in
the arena by wild beasts, ito make a
Roman holiday, " are graphically depicted d
in this piece; the bloodthirsty brutality
Of the Roman people, the licentiousness
Of the mobiles and the incontinency Of
the women of rank, give an accurate
picture of the general demoraiiz alton of
the "Mistress Of The World" on the eve
OF the great moral and religious reyolu.
ton that took place at the close Of the
second century. It is only at thisfstaGe
Of transition that the stirring and incon
gruous incidents Of this tragedy could
take place. It shows up the brutality
and vices of the Pagan in contrast with
the patient, suffering and enduring vir-
tues of the Christian. "GalbA" is the
most famous gladiator in Rome. His
arm has always proved invincible in the
arena; bat he Is weighed down with
great sorrow, and nurses o deep revenge
The Empress "FaustinA" had caused
the cruel murder of his wife. His
daughter is brought into the arena to
suffer death, because she is Christian.
The father has not seen her for years.
He is appointed 10 kill her, and as he is
about to give the blow, makes the dis
covery that she is his own child. The
mob howls for her blood; but the EN-
press finds that an oracle had declared
that the life Of her son was myster-
iously connected with that of the Chris.
tian girl, and that with her death would
cease the boy. Emperoi's life. She, Of
course, becomes anxious that the girl
should bs saved. But the father finally
executes his daughter with his own
hand, rather than let her be torn to
pieces by the mob. These incidents are
the groundwork of the plot. They
afford material to bring out the quail
tiles of good actor, and Mr.. Warde
throws strength and vigor into his
part, as we'll as an intellectually of
treatment, that chain the interest Of the
audience throughout. Miss Eugenie
Blair. as the Christian girl, gives strik
ing presentation of role at once beauti
full, tender, illuminated by true faith,
living not in this, but higher world,
and ready to suffer martyrdom for the
sake OF her creed. 1t was q most fin
ished and realistic personation, and
divided with "Galba" the honors Of the
evening.
